During his 49 year tenure as the Instituto Allende's Professor of Silver
Smithing, over 100,000 students were introduced to the world of silver by
Maestro Enrique Lopez. Many continued in that field and established their
own studios with international markets.

Over
the years, the maestro has exhibited in many galleries and has received
awards and accolades from both members of the art world as well as from
notables of State and Local government.

Since
his retirement from the Instituto Allende, Maestro Lopez continues
teaching to this day, now assisted by his son Antonio, in his studio at
calle San Pedro #27. By limiting the classes to 10 students, individual
instruction is guaranteed. The workshop is outfitted with all necessary
equipment.

The
Lopez silver jewelry school's sessions are open, you may begin at any time.
Our silver jewelry classes are open to all levels of student, we will
supply all necessary equipment. For your convenience, we always
have a large supply of silver and stones available for our silver
jewelry workshops, but you may bring your own stones and silver, if
desired..

The
silver jewelry courses are arranged into 36 hour sessions over 4 weeks, 3
sessions of 3 hours, 3 days per week. (Shorter time periods may also
be arranged).

on studying jewelry making during these months, we recommend that you
